Etymology

edit

From Greek σαμάρι (samári, packsaddle), from Ancient Greek σαγμάριον (sagmárion), a diminutive of σάγμᾰ (ságma, packsaddle). Alternatively, it could derive from Proto-Turkic *samar (sack, packsaddle),[1] even though this is less likely.

Noun

edit

  1. packsaddle, bat, a saddle used to secure and carry goods on the back of an animal
    Synonym: پالان (palan)
  2. porter's knot, a double shoulder pad worn with a strap around the forehead, used by porters
